1:00 pm
between the two of us. that infamous door, the one that saved rows and notably not jack just sold at auction for more than $700,000. maybe the new owners are going to test that theory. that's right. well, back in 2022, titanic director james cameron, he did just that he commissioned this scientific study complete was done. people in freezing cold water turns out only one of them could have been saved the door was not big enough for i don't buy it at all. i think it's clear that it's big enough for both of them. i don't by this james cameron that he's also said that for this jack had to die. i get the sense that rose saw those sketches he was drawing and she's like, yeah, i'm going to cut in the real-world. she was like, all right, buddy you think that he just confirmed what he wanted to confirm confirmation bias? yes. >> correction bias. well, it's now at someone else's >> we should try >> yeah. i've looks like two people would fit. i think so right here we go. >> all right. we're going to float away. congratulations
1:01 pm
with jake tapper a rescue mission turned recovery operation. the lead starts right now investigators all day board the ship responsible for that catastrophic bridge collapse in baltimore, interviewing crew, doing inspections as the families of six bridge workers hold out hope remains will be recovered. this our transportation secretary, pete buttigieg, plus ahead of the army corps of engineers nears on the enormous effect to clear all that mangled metal and reopen this major east coast shipping port. also on the lead, cnn's john king all over the map this time in the battleground and border-state of error for zona, how voters there feel about president biden or donald trump. november election creeps closer on the calendar and the shocking and very legal discovery hidden in crates of avocados >> welcome to lead. i'm phil mattingly in for jake tapper
1:02 pm
and we begin and with that ongoing search and recovery efforts in baltimore, divers badly cold, choppy waters to find the bodies of all six people who are presumed dead after a cargo ship hit and destroyed the francis scott key bridge. today, cnn is learning more about the victims. so far we have photos of three of them, all six, we're working construction on the night of the collapse, their company, brawner builders, saying they were quote, hardworking, wonderful people. and now they're gone. that company is in the process of putting together compensation packages for those devastated families. we are also learning more about the investigation into how a standard journey for the dali cargo ship turned into disaster. we know that just minutes before for impact, the ship blacked out. in fact, a port worker claims the ship had quotes severe electrical problems while docked just two days before it crashed into the bridge. in moments, i'll ask transportation secretary pete buttigieg about that reporting. >> authorities have also recovered the ship's >> data recorder or black box, which could shed more light on what went wrong and why cnn's
1:03 pm
brian todd leads us off with the latest on the investigation. >> and what >> we know about the victims >> investigators say they're going to examine a play-by-play breakdown of the moments before a fully loaded cargo ship rammed into the francis scott key bridge, killing six people. a key piece of evidence, the ship's data recorder, we've sent that back to our our lab to evaluate and begin to develop a timeline of events that led up to the strike on the bridge, national transportation safety board chair jennifer homendy says, they'll use that data in addition to interviews with witnesses, julie mitchell works at the port. she told cnn affiliate itn that the cargo ship seen here with its lights flickering off moments for the crash was in port for two days. >> it was just him power failures left and right so whenever it left port some of us feel like it should have left when it was daylight, so they can take care and see what issues they were having to cnn reached out to the ships operators, synergy group for response. we haven't heard back transportation secretary pete
1:04 pm
buttigieg doesn't expect the investigation will change bridge or ship design moving forward, the bridge like this one, completed in the 19, was simply not made to withstand a direct impact on a critical support peer from a vessel that weighs about 200 hundred million pounds, despite what buttigieg says, structural experts like timothy galanis say this was all avoidable. >> this bridge should have had pure protection. dolphins or pure protections are cylindrical structures that are constructed in the, in the navigable channel upstream and downstream from the main peers. >> they >> are designed, intended to be struck at this moment, buttigieg says the major focus is reopening the port. we are concerned about the local >> economic impact with some 8,000 jobs directly associated with port activities but homendy says the investigation will look at what could have kept the bridge from coming down. >> we will look at areas that
1:05 pm
should have been in place to prevent this type of disruption from occurring. the six workers who were killed were on the bridge filling potholes at the time, including doorly and castillo cabrera from guatemala, who has been working in the area for three years and loved his job and 38 year-old maynor sandoval from honduras, a father of two. his brother told cnn he loved his family, one-tuple, i'm navalny. >> he was loving guy, happy guy, a guy with vision. >> so far, no bodies have been found, but divers are still doing dangerous recovery work around them the wreckage, if those bodies are entrapped in the physical structure, what has to happen is pieces of metal and steel and cement have got to be moved. diver could be dead in a matter of seconds and he wouldn't even know it. >> buttigieg says cleanup crews are working to clear out the hundreds of millions of tons of wreckage. so shipping can resume and the bridge can be rebuilt. we know >> that it can't happen overnight. and so we're going to have to manage the impacts.
1:06 pm
in the meantime federal officials now say there are ten shifts in addition to the dali that are now stuck inside hi, the port of baltimore, they include three bulk carriers and oil and chemical tanker and a vehicle carrier. officials, a short time ago also said that all 22 crew members of the dollar we are still on board the ship. and are cooperating with investigators fell. >> same as bryan todd for us on the scene. let's turn now to cnn's tom foreman and tom, you're learning more about how the ship's size may have contributed to this tragedy. >> fill brian lead into this perfectly, while public officials are now calling this an accident in some engineers are indeed suggesting it may have been an accident almost 50 years in the making for two key reasons. first, the size of the ship much of our coverage has noted that the dali is longer than three football fields and carries tens of thousands of tons of weight. but such monster ships are a product of just the last couple of decades
1:07 pm
when the key bridge was built in 1977, opened up then big cargo ships were generally only big enough to handle up to 2,500 shipping containers each. about 20 feet long, >> then as worldwide trade blossomed, and electronics appliances, furniture, cars, and other consumer items, the size of cargo ships exploded bigger, much more >> powerful, heavier today, some can carry ten times. as much as they used to carry the dali fits somewhere in the middle here toward the higher end. and some engineers believe dozens, maybe hundreds of bridges under which these ships pass all over the country have not been kept up with that technology. well, many believed these safety experts that we're talking about, say there should be fenders of some sort, protective barriers of concrete or steel like what you see over here around this something that will deflect or fuse the impact on structures like key bridge. now whether or not they would
1:08 pm
actually stop things here if they came in, if there were a bigger protection down around here around the bottom, that's a question as we noted, secretary buttigieg says he doesn't think that any bridge could have withstood this, correct impact. i'm sure field you're going to ask him about that? but in a few minutes. >> but the >> bottom line is that's what a big rallying cry is right now to say, maybe this bridge could have withstood this impact, but it didn't really have a chance >> first up the pictures and it seems crazy to say there's almost don't even do it justice. you see it in person. the scale of the enormity of the ship what transpired after that contact is remarkable, but there's an irony here and that consumer demand is what i think drove the growth of these enormous shifts. because beyond the immediate human cost of this accident, consumers are almost certainly at least as the second-order effect going to have to pay because of this, right? >> yeah, that's right. so many consumer goods pass through this port including last year
1:09 pm
850,000 vehicles cars, light trucks, and so on. if this harbor is not reopened quickly, the shock of this accident could ripple all across the country, perhaps most of all, if you're out there expecting to buy a new car anytime soon, fill. >> all right. tom, form. and for us, thank you. as always, more than one thousand us army corps of engineered personnel. now activated to help in the aftermath of baltimore bridge collapse. a main part of their mission to clear the shipping channel, a critical shipping channel at that with us now to discuss all this us army corps of engineers commander in chief of engineers, the tune of general scott spellman. we appreciate your time. i know there is an enormous amount on your plate in the played that your team right now. just can you explain to people how big of an issue this is the undertaking you guys are currently experimental, phil, thanks. first of all, for having us on the program on behalf of the 38,000 men and women, the army corps of engineers, our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones in this terrible accident. as governor moore said yesterday, job number one is returning
1:10 pm
those loved ones back to their families. as the president said, our role in the recovery from this tragedy is reopening this ship channel and your team of graphics and showed it very well to your viewers. we're gonna go about this in three steps. the first is to get the steel trust out of a 700 foot wide by 50 foot deep channel out there on site yesterday, we are back in dc today lining up some additional resources that we need we're going to >> cut that. >> those members out of that 700 foot channel and then we're gonna look at the bottom, see what concrete members there's are down below when these ships come into baltimore harbor. there's anywhere between a foot and a foot of clearance from the bottom. so any piece of concrete, any piece of steel on the bottom is just as much as the hazard. is that in the channel. so that's step one, that's going to allow us to get one-way traffic going in and out of the port of baltimore again, the second will work very, very closely with the coast guard. we've got that ship right now is just on the lip of the channel. there are containers on top of the vessel that need to be stabilized, that work will be done in supervised by the coast guard. we've got to lift that
1:11 pm
trust bridge. that's overlaid over the top of that vessel get that off. so it can be tug to a safe part of the port that will allow by removing the vessel that will allow us to reopen two-way traffic. then of course, our third step would be to take out the remaining 2,900 feet of steel and all the associated concrete and roadway that's at the river bottom. we're up to this task. we have all that we need to be very clear. i don't think anybody questions that at all. it's interesting the secretary transportation earlier today speaking at the white house, said that you guys have been aggressive in getting resources and going after resources for what you're going to need. i think sonar has been activated trying to get a full sense of the picture there. but what you're describing sounds like in enormous undertaking. do you have any sense of how long that would take will know more in the next couple of days on duration what you don't see on the footage is what's underneath the water and the conditions that these divers will be working in. a lot of sharp, razor sharp, steel that can be lethal to our divers. and certainly their equipment.
1:12 pm
we have a lot of underway quarter technology and cameras at work right now, just outlining that the work ahead, we've got to figure out how we're going to cut those members, how we're going to lift them out of the channel safely i know that you guys are looking forward. this isn't as much of a look back responsibility at this point, but when you look given your guys expertise, when you look at what happened from the crash to just how quickly the bridge collapsed do you feel like there was anything that could have been done in terms of the design that would have prevented something like still am today responsible for maintaining 577 federal navigation channels across 1,200 ports in the united states. this is one of them, i think as the national transportation safety board continues their investigation, we're going to learn things that we should consider doing differently in the years ahead. >> what do you >> draw on in terms of past experiences are passed efforts that you've been involved with that you can utilize here this is a very delicate operation for us. obviously, we're dealing with the loss of loved ones and it's not lost on us that we're dealing with a very similar situation to have been
1:13 pm
for months now in the ongoing wildfire recovery on the island of maui very similar circumstances. we want to be sensitive to those families, but lean ahead and all the hours that we have doing ahead for the important work that we have ahead of us. you mentioned the divers to conditions right now. obviously, it's been raining in the area >> cold waters, >> choppy waters how does that complicate this process? >> so we've all seen still >> construction going up multi-story steel construction. and if you're familiar with that, it's very methodical. it goes up member by member. but now we're dealing with a five-story structure that's below water, right? so very, very dark. you've mentioned cold and these are not clean members. so a lot of jagged still below us, a lot of twisted rebar and heavy concrete. they're gonna be working amongst all of that very, very dangerous conditions. we're certainly thinking about you and your personnel as you go through. what is a significant undertaking, the tenth general scats moment, we appreciate your time, so thanks. thank you. thank you. >> up next, the most pressing issue for the biden administration as the court operation continues, i'll ask
1:14 pm
transportation secretary pete buttigieg about all of that next, and later, treating trauma with trauma replayed like a black and white movie, jake tapper spoke with the founder of the second algae, calls it a breakthrough treatment needed for ptsd. it's there with us >> space shuttle columbia, the final flight from your sunday, april 7 at nine on when you put in the effort, but it starts to freeze you, skipped a step treta may stokes theorem use before styling for three days of weightlessly smooth hair, that phrase can't be i'm going to try to make keratin smooth collection >> have you heard slain jd offers the news you love for last weight you look and sound just like me. actually i am you because i'm the same news programs on sling for less. you mean you're me but for less money, a lot less? i'm all your favorite news programs and more on sling starting at just $40 a month. everything great about me, but for less money, which makes me greater than you think it's the same news for

1:19 pm
different players working together from a transportation department perspective, it really comes down to four things get that bridge back up. maryland in their work to do that. that's number one. number two. in the meantime, make sure that the traffic impacts can be dealt with number three, get that poured back open number four. in the meantime, make sure that the supply chain impacts can be dealt with and we've got work underway on all of those just moments ago, we received an emergency relief a funding request from the state of maryland. that's the first step that makes it possible for us to get federal funds to help them in their rebuilding efforts. also, this afternoon are federal highways team is working working with them to start looking at design and procurement. meanwhile, on the port front, that's really the most acute short-term concern, especially for the workers who are impacted about $2 a day in wages depend on the work that goes on in that port. and while it is not the largest container port in the us, it is the busiest of vehicle court and
1:20 pm
getting cargos diverted to other ports up and down the eastern seaboard will be possible, but it will not be simple. i'll be convening different players across the shipping sector and supply chains tomorrow. but to try to get a better sense of their data, their plans, and their concerns, and how we can help your point about not being simple as one that i wanted to ask you about these ports, are they prepared, are they capable of taking the incoming loads that will be headed their way? now, are there things that they're going to need to do? to change their operations in order to deal with that we are getting early indications that would suggest that many of them have some additional capacity that they could surge a to absorb and accommodate the cargo that's being diverted, but it really shifts from one type of cargo to another. containers are pretty standardized, but this is actually an important port for sugar shipments. there are not a lot of terminals that can take sugar. so we're, we're looking at what alternatives there are there. so it's really going to vary product by product. those are exactly the
1:21 pm
kinds of issues that our new multimodal freight office is dealing with. this is an office it was actually yet another thing created by president biden for structural law. it's not a piece of physical infrastructure, it's a, it's a piece of administrative infrastructure that can help us better coordinate those players. it's coming in really handy at a time like this. >> you mentioned the types of cargo that goes in and out of this port there, i think are 4,700 cargo containers on the dali, there are ships that are still in port right now until it reopens. are those goods all going to be recovered and transferred out or some of them lost. we have a sense i can't speak to the goods that are on the ship itself as for the rest, there were a number of ships that were inside the >> port, inside of the bridge as that happened. and they're not going anywhere until that channel can safely be cleared. so the task has been to offload that cargo, transfer it over land. get it to another port as you can imagine. a complicated operation, but one that's well underway right now. >> you mentioned that the first
1:22 pm
request had come in just over the course of the last couple of hours. my understanding is there are pots of money that dot has access to that they can tap into pretty quickly. how quickly will the federal government be able to bond and start deploying some of that money >> my intention is to get this first request and processed immediately and start those dollars flowing even in these earliest days, there her expenses that can be associated with the design planning, engineering, other things that need to go into getting that bridge restored. and we will make sure as the president has directed, that financing and administrative issues are not a barrier to getting that done quickly. we do have resources to get to work right away if we need more, we will approach it congress and let them know what we think is needed to that point about barriers. do you have a sense of regulations that you will need to try and bypass or go around in order to speed up the process. >> i can tell you that we're not going to allow red tape to present any unnecessary terry barriers to getting this done. look, this is federal taxpayer money obviously it has to be spent within some very strict
1:23 pm
checks, balances, and conditions to make sure that it is spent well, but we're not going to allow that to be something that's slowed down the process, we're just going to hurry up and get it right the first time. >> in terms of cost secretary of treasury, janet yellen earlier today, she believed that at least in part insurance prince would be utilized here to cover some of this financing. the presence saying yesterday, the federal government cover everything. you have any sense right now of if insurance payments will be coming forth in the weeks and months ahead or if us taxpayers are gonna have to finance all of this well, it's too soon to say what all of the liability findings will be, although that's another piece of what's at stake in the investigations that law enforcement and ntsb are pursuing right now, what i will say is, of course, any private party that bears responsibility and is accountable will have to be held liable. we just can't wait for that process to play out to get the funds out that are going to get this bridge backup in this port reopened. so of course, we will expect that kind of accountability when the time comes. but in the
1:24 pm
meantime, we're going to make sure that those federal resources are put together. other upfront. so that nothing unnecessarily delays the roadway back to normal workers are counting on it. people who depend on these shipments, whether they realize it or not they are, counting on it, and about 30,000 vehicles a day that go over that bridge. they're counting on us doing everything in our power to get them back to normal. it will not be quick and it will not be easy but we're committed to do it as long as it takes >> a critical point on all of those fraud stretch providers, transportation secretary pete buttigieg. thank you, sir, for your time >> thank you >> and in politics, cnn's john king, well, he's been all over the map here. what voters in arizona are telling him about the 2024 matchup between president biden and donald trump. and what's driving decisions in this border in battleground state that's next seven astronauts setting off on a scientific mission. >> hey, we're doing great. >> columbia com check oh hear nothing

1804811700, coventry direct redefining assurance what is on the arizona mexico cnn welcome back in are 2024 lead. here are some headlines you may have seen about the border over the past week. how the political system failed to solve the border crisis. more than 100 migrants break through razor wire, not down guards as they illegally cross el paso border wild seeing biden administration accused of ignoring the border crisis real life threats. these are the national takes about what border states face. but how did people who actually live near the border field are john king went to arizona and ask them? >> yeah. >> you're force veteran melissa cordillera voted for trump in 2020. >> i was a small business owner at the time cordillera works for a conservation non-profit now and will not vote for trump again >> reproductive rights >> as someone who was >> raped, it's assaulted >> i i had the opportunity to
1:30 pm
make that decision on terminating the pregnancy i can't imagine in future years to come if that happens to me again or to somebody else, them not having that likely biden, but cordillera, will study third options >> my biggest my biggest issue with biden is the palestine issue. you fight for queer trans bipoc immigrant access to vote veterans and been deported, access for veterans to vote while they're overseas then also, you just should care if people are getting killed at that, at that rate, rate, flores is no fan of biden nor trump thinks both are too old to be president at this juncture, they both had for years and i'm just eight years more frustrated than i was before. >> flores runs l chara, a family business for 102 years tucson landmark, famous for carney saka, and the chevy chunk washington's immigration paralysis hurts business. >> i mean, a clear process for work visas would be amazing.
1:31 pm
you have your technology company, you can get an engineer and you can get them immigrated and you can get a work visa. why should i we'll do that with the chef. oh, with a really good waiter. >> the immigration conversation tends to be different in places at or near the border. more polite, more nuanced focused on solutions, not slogans. so how long has it so unique situation >> where you have two countries that create a community. and actually it's mutually beneficial for both countries. >> walk through the nogales border crossing in the first business you see is query's bridal shop evan korea is fine with the wall, but didn't like it when trump added the razor wire, he bristles when the former president talks about the border and mexicans we've always depended on are mexican neighbors to support our local economy >> john king joins me now from new york and looked jake eight. i came down to dc usually we sit in your office and talk about the details of what you've picked up. you ran away to new york, so it i'm gonna do it anyway, on live television, fitch i've always struck by
1:32 pm
your pieces about the difference for the contrast between what voters on the ground think and say versus maybe what's being reported at a national level on this issue specifically why do you think there's a very different national perception than what you seem to be hearing from the people on the ground? >> because a lot of the people >> doing the yelling on >> this issue don't spend enough time with the people who actually live it every day. it's just a fact of life. look, evan core, you just saw at the end of the piece there he's a democrat, he's a biden voter, but he's also somebody whose family has had a business for 77 years. steps from the mexican border to ask him his favorite restaurant you'll take a few blocks away in mexico. you go through the border. these people are used to going back and forth day to day, the americans and the mexicans who either live in sometimes work in the united states were just come to the united states to buy a wedding dress right up the street from cory's is david's western where it's a republican, david moore, he makes these beijing handmade cowboy boots. i'll get your pair where i go back to visit him fell. he's a republican. his mom's from mexico. so when he hears trump's say immigrants poison or blood, it just hit me. he's repulsed by it so look, they
1:33 pm
say it's a crisis. they want more and evan cory a democrat, wants more border patrol. he doesn't mind the wall. he just hates the razor wire. he thinks it's just ridiculous looking and it's on the americans so what good does it do? it it's bad to look out the window. they say crisis, they want help, they want more border patrol, but they just say the rhetoric they hear from both liberals and trump are as alarmist. and if you say you don't know border patrol, their mean people, they say no, we need that help and basically filled, they want people to have adult conversations and to go into a room and figure it out and they'd love to give them advice. they just say they don't come. >> yeah wildly divergent from the political messaging versus the actual policy that's necessary at this point to broaden it out a little bit. but we've both covered the white house, sat in the very tiny booths, have discharge probably to show for my time there. when you look at the current inhabitant of the white house polls right now, see the election is going to be incredibly close. so close former president obama is warning quote, it's an all-hands-on-deck moment for democrats tomorrow, president vital join forces with obama for president bill clinton for
